We’re doing something different this month. Things are a bit busy with family and babies, so for this episode, we’re sharing a special, previously recorded crossover episode. Mollie joins Dani on the Ice Planet Podcast to discuss book six of the series, Barbarian’s Mate.
The Ice Planet Barbarians series follows a group of human women alien abductees as they adjust to life on a barren ice planet populated by big, blue aliens with heart worms. It’s a lot more romantic than I’m making it sound, I promise.

We ruin all your favorite foods in this one.
This week, I'm joined romance reader, blogger and Ice Planet newbie Funmi as we discuss Barbarian's Prize, Tiffany and Salukh's book.
Brace yourself, because this episode doesn't shy away from anything. Comparisons to Cinnabon icing and viscous Capri-Suns are made. Don't say I didn't warn you!
But along with that, we have a great discussion of trauma and healing after sexual assualt. We don't talk details, but you should definitely be aware that sexual assualt and rape are mentioned in this episode.
Get ready for the ultimate messiness next week when I'm joined by my Black Chick Lit co-host, Mollie, as we read Barbarian's Mate, the first book in the series I ever read!

Surprise, surprise: more dick talk.
This week, I’m joined by Erin from the Learning the Tropes podcast. Listen in as we discuss Barbarian Mine, the fourth book in the series featuring Harlow and mystery man Rukh.
We ask (and answer!) some v. important questions: Why do the sa-khui have spurs? What does a flaccid, plated dick look like? And just how loud do these khui scream when these couples resonate?
Please treat yo’self and check out the Learning the Tropes episode where they discuss Ice Planet Barbarians.
Next week, listen in for a discussion of Barbarian’s Prize with romance reader and blogger Funmi.

So much talk about dildos in this one.
For this episode, I'm joined by Isabel of Romance Sparks Joy to discuss Barbarian Lover, Kira and Aehako's book.
We try and break down the real questions of this series: How do 7-foot-tall alien men romance 5-foot-tall human women? How is anyone getting any sleep in that loud fuck-cave? And why doesn't anyone care about what happened to Harlow?
This book also provided us some A+ comedy bits, highlighted by the gift of an anatomically correct bone dildo. (Bonus: here's the dildo that Isabel says would be a good stand-in for the sa-khui's junk.)
Prepare to delete your search history and join in. Next week, listen in for a discussion of Barbarian Mine with Erin of Learning the Tropes.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! It's Urban Fic Month! This year, we go back home to Missouri and read Hold U Down by Keisha Ervin.
Meet Unique and her girls, Zoe, Kiara and Kay Kay, the mildest criminals the STL has to offer. They live by the code that requires them to make money, spend money and never catch feelings. They will spend the entirety of this book doing none of those things. We follow the clique as they get booed up, hang out at strip-mall night clubs and study at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
This book also competes for "Worst Sex Scene Involving a Perishable Food Item." We had to read about it, so y'all had to hear about it.
